e-CHUG Assessment Details:

e-CHUG is a brief confidential self-assessment tool, designed to give students personalized feedback about their alcohol use. The assessment takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, is self-guided, and requires no face-to-face contact time with a counselor or administrator.

The e-CHUG, already in use at over 200 universities and colleges across 36 states, is an on-line adaptation of the
Check-Up to Go (CHUG). The feedback, that is included with the assessment is as follows:

• Quantity and Frequency of Drinking, Caloric Intake
• Amount Consumed and Peak BAC
• Cost of alcohol spent
• Norm Comparisons
• Amount and Percent of Income Spent on Alcohol
• Tolerance Level
• Negative Consequences of Alcohol Use
• Genetic Risk Score
• Explanation, advice, local referral information
  

There is also a Personal Reflections & Verification of Completion (PRVC) program that is designed to provide you an opportunity to reflect on your personal e-CHUG feedback report. You will be asked to provide personally identifiable information about yourself and thoughtful answers to a few questions about your e-CHUG feedback report. This component is to offer additional verification and add to your experience of the online self-assessment. This can be taken at the end of your survey under the Resources Section/tab on your report. Answers from the e-CHUG Self-assessment and the PRVC are not matched. Your e-CHUG information remains confidential and will not be able to be viewed even if you complete the PRVC.

NOTE: If you are required to take the e-CHUG or are taking as a WellRed participant, please note that you must complete the PRVC and answer the open-ended questions at the end of the assessment summary (click on the green check mark)

WellRed participants must also send an email to kathryn.steward@wku.edu to notify that they have completed the assessment and PRVC and points need to be added.

For questions re: the survey, please contact Kathryn Steward, Health Education Coordinator with WKU Health Services, at 745-5033 or kathryn.steward@wku.edu
